1974-1977 Chevy Vega EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
Engine swap projects for classic Vegas often hit a fuel delivery ceiling when modern LS or LT engines are installed and this 1974 to 1977 Vega EFI fuel tank kit addresses that head on. By relocating the 255 LPH Walbro pump inside a corrosion resistant steel reservoir, the assembly sustains steady pressure, shortens fuel line runs and lowers vapor lock risk during spirited driving. The nineteen gallon galvanized steel tank fits factory underbody mount points while preserving authentic Vega styling. Complete with OEM style sending unit, vent filter, gaskets and mounting hardware, installation remains straightforward and reliable.
Precision Pump Integration for Consistent Fuel Pressure
The 255 LPH Walbro pump is calibrated to support up to 550 horsepower while maintaining stable pressure under rapid throttle changes. By mounting the pump inside the tank reservoir, fuel stays cooler and air entrainment is minimized, reducing the chance of vapor lock when driving hard. Shorter fuel line runs from tank to engine improve throttle response and ensure the ECU receives a steady supply for accurate metering. This placement also reduces stress on external hoses and fittings, contributing to long term reliability. In demanding conditions, drivers benefit from immediate spade-ready performance and predictable power delivery.
Galvanized Steel Tank with Silver Powder Coat Protection
The reservoir shell is crafted from steel that undergoes a galvanizing process to bond a zinc layer firmly to the base metal. A silver powder coat finish seals the surface and resists road salt, moisture, and debris that can corrode underbody components. This dual treatment not only extends the life of the tank but also preserves the classic Vega undercarriage lines without revealing modern modifications. The coating resists chipping and peeling, ensuring the barrier remains intact even after years of use. Together, these layers maintain structural integrity and authentic style beneath the vehicle.
Cohesive Module Design Simplifies EFI Conversion
This kit integrates the fuel pump, sending unit, filler neck, vent filter, and all necessary hardware into one assembly that drops into the factory mounting points for 1974–1977 Vegas. OEM style components deliver accurate fuel level readings and retain dash cluster compatibility without rewiring. Included straps, gaskets, and mounting brackets eliminate the need for custom fabrication or third-party adapters. By grouping every essential piece into a single module, installers can complete the swap in fewer steps and avoid mismatched parts. The result is a clean, secure installation that mirrors factory engineering.
Extended Capacity and Internal Baffling for Stable Flow
With nineteen gallons of capacity, the tank supports long highway drives or extended track sessions by reducing refueling frequency. Internal baffling controls fuel movement during cornering and acceleration, preventing pump starvation and ensuring uninterrupted flow. Consistent supply to the engine maintains smooth throttle progression and avoids hesitation under load. Whether navigating winding back roads or cruising cross country, this kit delivers endurance alongside peak performance. Drivers can rely on both range and response during spirited adventures.
Engineered to preserve classic underbody styling and ensure reliable fuel delivery. For the same tank but with a larger capacity pump at 400 LPH, consider our 1974-1977 Vega EFI Fuel Tank Kit - 400 LPH Pump.
